Echoes of Solitude: VNV Nation's Poetic Transmission
Lyrics
Words will never say enough
Words alone cannot express everything.
They are just born of hope
Words are born from hope.
That someone will even listen
Expressed with the desire that someone will listen.
In this solitude of hearts
In the loneliness of hearts.
In the traces that echo through the ether
In the lingering echoes through the atmosphere.
Tied to meanings, bound to fate
Connected to meanings and tied to destiny.
Reassured by sounds that echo
Reassured by sounds that reverberate.
Across the airwaves tuning through the waves
Traveling through the airwaves, tuning through waves.
Of faint and distant signals
Capturing faint and distant signals.
Hoping someone's there
Hoping that someone is there to receive the message.
Oh have we tried too much
Have we tried too hard?
Traded innocence for promises of greatness
Traded innocence for promises of greatness.
Left to search, left seeking out
Left searching for a part of ourselves that is lost.
For a part of us that is no longer there
Seeking something that is no longer present.
With all the prowess we possess
Despite our capabilities, we exchanged the best of ourselves.
Exchanged the greatest of
Exchanged for isolation.
Ourselves for isolation
Smiling and carrying on, unaware of the solitude within.
Gladly we smile and carry on
Choosing to smile despite the inner solitude.
Unaware of the solitude we hide inside
Unaware of the loneliness concealed within.
Broadcasting live around the world
Live broadcasting worldwide.
On the air in every land, on every frequency
On the air in every land and on every frequency.
Across the surface of the earth
Covering the surface of the earth.
To the furthest reach
Reaching to the farthest extents.
This is our live transmission
Describing the transmission as live.
To all the people of the world
Addressing all people worldwide.
Unrelenting, for all who are receiving us
Continuing without relent for all who receive the message.
From every station on the earth
From every station on the earth.
Loud and clear, this is our live transmission
Loud and clear, emphasizing the live nature of the transmission.
